This book is based on a series of lectures the author delivered at the School of Oriental and African Studies of the University of London in 1951, and constitutes a concise survey of Indian religion, with the exception of Buddhism. It provides an introduction to the subject and presents a balanced assessment of the progress made towards the solution of the main problems in this branch of Indology, bringing out the essential part played by religion in the development of present-day Indian thought.
